THIS is a parliament of members who want to defend their borders against invasion. The video below from the Visegrad group shows members of the Polish Parliament giving a standing ovation for their service personnel who are guarding the borders of Poland against hordes of illegal invaders being pushed towards them by Belarus.
On the other hand in Britain’s Parliament there is rarely any support for either properly securing Britain’s borders or praise of the sort we see in the Polish Parliament for those defending the border. You are more likely to see handwringing about ‘refugees’ or empty words from the Home Secretary Pritti Patel about better border control than you are to see fulsome support for those keeping unwanted and dangerous migrants out of Britain.
When I look at how the Polish Parliament behaves towards those who are protecting their country from threat and how the British Parliament behaves I can’t help but wonder and be disgusted at the spinelessness, cowardliness and general feebleness of British parliamentarians on this issue.
The Polish parliamentarians are doing the right thing, the Polish service personnel are doing the right thing. We should stand with Walcząca Polszczyzna, the Fighting Polish, because they are doing what our craven leaders fear to do which is protect their nation’s borders from invaders.
F211. I can’t fathom why this Conservative government won’t do what the vast majority of Britons vwant. Control our borders. It should be easy to prevent these fake refugees from crossing the Channel. If they did so and the likes of the BBC whined about it, then the BBC and others would be damaging themselves and not the government. Another thing they should do is to immediately deport all convicted criminals after they have served their sentences. Both these measures would enhance the public’s view of the government. So why do you think they won’t do these things?
The current government has a stonking majority in part because of promises to deal with excessive and illegal migration. There are several reasons why I believe they do not. The first is that, at least on the Government side, many but not all MP’s will never have to live with the problems that these illegals bring. It’s a ‘in someone else’s backyard’ issue. The second issue is much more thorny. This is that since the end of WWII the UK has been a key player in an international rules based culture. Britain has had to uphold this international rules based culture in order not to be accused of hypocrisy by nations that are breaking such rules. It was Britain and British lawyers who drew up the majority of the Human Rights Convention wording. I have little doubt that there are many in Cabinet and in the Civil Service who believe that if restrictions on illegal migration and the sort of pushback we are seeing on the Polish and Lithuanian border were undertaken by the UK then Britain would then be outside the rules based international culture that British politicians have championed for so long. This is going to be a dificult thing to change and it will need new politicians to do so. We can leave the Refugee Convention for example but this would take time and encourage other nations to leave it as well. The political class would lose face if Britain decided that we were not going to play by these rules anymore because playing by them is hurting the nation and too many politicians would rather hurt the people and the nation of Britain rather than lose face on the international scene.
My own view is that both the Refugee Convention and the Convention on Statelessness are not fit for the modern day. The Refugee Convention was put in place when Europe was a sea of refugees following World War II. Similarly the Statelessness Convention was brought in because of the actions of the Nazis who removed the citizenship of Germany’s Jews. Neither of these problems exist today. Europe is not a sea of war displaced refugees and the Statelessness Convention is not protecting anyone as it just encourages illegal migrants to throw away id documents and thereby hiding their origins. This means that if a country like Britain cannot prove that the migrant is a citizen of country X then we can’t get rid of them because to do so would make that migrant stateless.
I’m with you on the BBC. Pissing off the BBC is a good thing. It will further divorce the public from the BBC and the BBC leftist culture and increase calls for this entity to be either reformed or done away with.
